|| Mudfish (๐˜Š๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฏ๐˜ข ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ข), locally known as dalag or haruan, has long held a quiet but enduring place in Southeast Asian food culture, not just prized for its rich taste, but also valued in traditional accounts for its supposed medicinal benefits. In the Philippines, it continues to appear consistently among the countryโ€™s top aquaculture commodities. In recent years, national output has declined significantly, a trend linked to persistent bottlenecks in hatchery efficiency and limited availability of quality fry. Recognizing this gap, researchers from DA - Fisheries Biotechnology Center (FBC), in collaboration with BFAR-NFFTC and MSU Naawan, explored the effects of photoperiod manipulation on hatchery performance. Photoperiod, or the duration of light exposure, is known to influence feeding behavior, metabolism, and fish growth.

Ginanap noong ika-25 hanggang 26 ng Mayo 2026 sa Tagudin, Ilocos Sur ang programang โ€œReorganization and Strengthening of Municipal Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Management Council (MFARMC)โ€. Layunin ng aktibidad na ito na palakasin ang kapasidad ng konseho at isulong ang mas responsableng pangangalaga sa yamang-tubig sa munisipalidad.

Pinangunahan ng Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) ang programa sa pakikipagtulungan ni LGU-Municipal Agriculturist Dr. Jocelyn L. Lamadrid.

Nagsagawa ng talakayan patungkol sa BFAR Fisherfolk Empowerment Program, ang konsepto ng co-management approach sa Pilipinas, at ang pagpapatupad ng Fisheries Law. Nagkaroon din ng pagsusuri sa mga kaugnay na alituntunin ng Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) at pagsasagawa ng compliance audit sa sektor ng pangisdaan ng LGU.

Kaakibat ng mga talakayan ay ang praktikal na pagsasanay, partikular sa parliamentary procedure para sa mas maayos at epektibong mga pagpupulong ng konseho. Pagsasagawa ng SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) para sa community-based fisheries at pagbuo ng action plan para sa mga susunod na konkretong hakbangin ng konseho tungo sa mas matibay at sustenableng operasyon.

Tampok din ang isinagawang eleksyon at panunumpa sa tungkulin ng mga bagong opisyal ng FARMC, na pinangunahan ni Hon. Mayor Evangeline Verzosa.

Nagtapos ang aktibidad sa presentasyon ng mga nabuong output, pagbabalik-tugon ng mga kalahok, at pangwakas na pananalita mula sa mga kinatawan ng BFAR-Region 1 at LGU.

Though they stay in one place, they do the massive job of sheltering over 25% of all marine life. BFAR-RFO 1 invites everyone to be proactive stewards of our underwater habitats.

Let's keep our reefs healthy for a more bountiful harvest!
